ReplyDeleteXI Gundam gets better looks in every redesign...And are those flexible hands on a HG?
ReplyDeletenope its hollow, just a regular expressive manipulator/hand
DeleteHuh, looks a lot closer to the original novel design. Nifty.
ReplyDeleteYes yes and even more yes, absolute must buy for me
ReplyDeleteYes yes and even more yes, absolute must buy for me
ReplyDeleteVery interesting design choice closer to the novel design. But not an unwelcome design choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat was with the Feds making Mobile Suits the size of most Mobile Armors?
ReplyDeleteCompensating for something perhaps?
Actually it's Anaheim's works. as for Penelope and Xi it's for installing minovsky drive for mobile suit, but they still can figure how to downsize that. Then mufty incident, and how successfully SNRI create more smaller but agile MS like F90 and F91 end Feds dependence of Anaheim.
DeleteYes please!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an insta-buy, to me!
ReplyDeleteI would have preferred if they'd made a Hg of the original design instead. Not a fan of the changes they've made. The funnel effect parts are cool though.
ReplyDeleteTechnically this is the closest to the original novel design you'd get, right down to the color scheme.
DeleteBut what you've called original was 1st redesign tho'.
DeleteMy mistake, Then I prefer the more common redesign to this more novel accurate version. Good to get a kit of it either way, but I'll pass on this design.
Deletelooks alot like Zeorymer with that all white scheme
ReplyDeletePretty sure the base kit doesn't come with the effect parts. Seeing as there's a Xi + Penelope Effect Parts set.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't
DeleteImo this looks better than the penelope
ReplyDeletei cannot unsee the almost-gundam-head-ish looking chest. now, you cannot,too.
ReplyDeleteSorry wallet I already got an Penelope... but this is so cool
ReplyDeleteI just dont like the design lol. Its so big and bulky. The weight of it would be insane lol
ReplyDeleteI dunno, it's all a bit too busy, and the second Gundam head on the chest is kind of lame. Is there a way to take the extra armour pieces off so you can have the more basic design underneath?
ReplyDeleteBasic design what? Different with Penelope, this is WHOLE Xi, not Oddyseus + Minovsky Flight Unit = Penelope.
DeleteDo you think we will get the other design as p-bandai
ReplyDeleteKatoki made a design that's basically identical to the SD Gundam G Generation design, so there's always the possibility of a super expensive MG Ver. Ka.
DeleteIt's kinda funny that Build Fighters and Build Divers featured the Fujita/Katoki redesigns of the Xi Gundam, but the official kit is closer to the novel design. I wonder if it's too much to hope for a new mobile suit that's based on the novel design of the Gustav Karl.
DeleteWe got the SD Gundam G Generation version of the Gustav Karl, and they only need to a few new head and chest parts to do it, so it's certainly possible.
DeleteI like the "redesign" more than this one. This and The Penelope looks so much alike that for sure it's gonna be hard to watch them together on-screen in high speed battles
